Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Asphalt primer is essential on chalky or porous surfaces before applying roof coatings or cements, because it improves adhesion and prevents the coating from being absorbed unevenly. At roughly 150 sq ft per pail, plan quantities before starting so the primed area can be topcoated within the working window. Stir the pail to a uniform consistency and verify compatibility of the primer and topcoat system on the project spec.
Asphalt primers contain solvents; use in well-ventilated areas, keep away from ignition sources and wear gloves and eye protection.
Order TRI-BUILT Quick Dry Asphalt Primer in 5 gallon pails to prep your roof surfaces for coating.
